From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net-next] tuntap: calculate rps hash only when needed Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:55:41 -0400 Message-ID: <1461635741-18857-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Wang , "Michael S. Tsirkin" To: davem@davemloft.net, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:51407 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750821AbcDZBzq (ORCPT ); Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:55:46 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: There's no need to calculate rps hash if it was not enabled. So this patch export rps_needed and check it before trying to get rps hash. Tests (using pktgen to inject packets to guest) shows this can improve pps about 13% (when rps is disabled). Before: ~1150000 pps After: ~1300000 pps Cc: Michael S.
